    CREATING AN OSAGE FUTURE: ART, RESISTANCE, AND SELF-REPRESENTATION Jami C. Powell A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jean Dennison Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld Valerie Lambert Jenny Tone-Pah-Hote Chip Colwell © 2018 Jami C. Powell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jami C. Powell: Creating an Osage Future: Art, Resistance, and Self-Representation (Under the direction of Jean Dennison and Rudolf Colloredo Mansfeld) Creating an Osage Future: Art, Resistance, and Self-Representation, examines the ways Osage citizens—and particularly artists—engage with mainstream audiences in museums and other spaces in order to negotiate, manipulate, subvert, and sometimes sustain static notions of Indigeneity. This project interrogates some of the tactics Osage and other American Indian artists are using to imagine a stronger future, as well as the strategies mainstream museums are using to build and sustain more equitable and mutually beneficial relationships between their institutions and Indigenous communities. In addition to object-centered ethnographic research with contemporary Osage artists and Osage citizens and collections-based museum research at various museums, this dissertation is informed by three recent exhibitions featuring the work of Osage artists at the Denver Art Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Sam Noble Museum at the University of Oklahoma. Drawing on methodologies of humor, autoethnography, and collaborative knowledge-production, this project strives to disrupt the hierarchal structures within academia and museums, opening space for Indigenous and aesthetic knowledges.

  • Annual Report Fiscal Year 2010 July 1, 2009–June 30, 2010
    Annual Report Fiscal Year 2010 July 1, 2009–June 30, 2010 For the 2009–2010 fiscal year, Tacoma Art Museum presented a series of exhibitions focusing on its mission of “emphasizing the art and artists of the Northwest” alongside nationally and internationally acclaimed artists across all media. The summer of 2009 began with the dynamic pairing of jewelry exhibitions, Ornament as Art: Avant-Garde Jewelry from the Helen Williams Drutt Collection, the only West Coast venue of the major exhibi- tion organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Loud Bones: The Jewelry of Nancy Worden, which was curated by Ta- coma Art Museum. The autumn exhibitions included A Concise History of Northwest Art, featuring highlights of the museum’s Northwest art collection and exploring the development of the region’s art from the 1890s to the present. Joe Feddersen: Vital Signs, organized by Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University, presented a retrospective look at Native American art- ist Joe Feddersen, a nationally acclaimed printmaker, basket maker, and glass artist. One of the museum’s most treasured col- lections was featured in The Movement of Impressionism: Europe, America, and the Northwest, a survey of how a painting style spread from late 19th-century Paris to the Northwest. The museum’s works by Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Au- guste Renoir along with works by Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, and others were supplemented by important loans of Northwest impressionists. The winter season featured The Secret Language of Animals, a two-gallery exhibition exploring the changing ways artists used animals as symbols for human relationships across three centuries of American and European art.
